EU needs until July 9th to reach a trade deal with U.S. - von der Leyen
BRUSSELS, May 25 (Reuters) - The European Union is ready to move quickly in trade talks with the United States, but will need until July 9th, the original deadline for the talks, to "reach a good deal", the head of the EU executive arm Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday.
Von der Leyen said in a post on X she had a "good" phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump. The call comes after Trump said on Friday he was dissatisfied with the pace of trade talks with the EU and threatened to put 50% tariffs on all EU goods from June 1.
In early April, Trump himself set a 90 day window for trade talks for EU and the U.S. which was to end on July 9th.
"Good call with @POTUS," she said on X. "Europe is ready to advance talks swiftly and decisively. To reach a good deal, we would need the time until July 9," she said.
